ABY : Very handy

10 years ago

Bought this for use with my looper pedal which only has 1 input. It allows me to plug both my guitar and a mic into it using the AB function to switch between which I use to record, and saves me having to put both through a mixer which was previously my only way of doing it.

Only issue is that the signal strength of each instrument is considerably harmed when using the Y function, so I have to use 2 mics, one for looping through the pedal and a separate one for main vocal. This is fine for live shows when I have my mixer set up, but it would have been nice to be able to use just one mic when busking, and sadly the drop in volume when using the Y function is just too big to run a main mic and guitar through one pedal.

Main pro for me is that it doesn't require power of any sort, just a 9V battery for the LEDs to work and even that isn't entirely necessary, although it does make things easier. It's very simple to use, is small so doesn't take up too much pedalboard space, and seems pretty robust.

All in all a great pedal for the price.
